<\/a>Recipe for about thirty almond babouches:<\/p>\n

-1kg of almond powder<\/span><\/b>
\n-500g of sugar<\/span><\/b>
\n-5 eggs<\/span><\/b>
\n-2 teaspoons of liquid vanilla<\/span><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span><\/b>
\nDough<\/span><\/b>
\n-500g of flour<\/span><\/b>
\n-200g of butter<\/span><\/b>
\n-water<\/span><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span><\/b>
\n-liquid or slightly warmed honey<\/span><\/b>
\n-30 whole almonds with their skin<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n


\n<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n

Start by preparing the dough. Put the butter and flour in the bowl of a blender fitted with the “k”, or simply in a large bowl if you don’t have one. <\/i><\/i>
\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n
Start mixing to sand completely.  You have to go slowly to see how well the flour absorbs. <\/i><\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n
Mix. The dough should be fairly soft but not sticky.<\/i><\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Place the dough ball in a cool place in cling film for 30 minutes if the butter was cold, otherwise one hour. <\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n

Mix almond powder and sugar.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Mix on a large table or in a mixing bowl of a “kitchenaid” type robot. Dig a well and add the eggs.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Add the liquid vanilla.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Start mixing the eggs with the vanilla.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Then knead the whole until a kind of almond paste is formed. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Roll out the dough fairly thinly to 2 mm thickness on a floured work surface.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Cut circles with a 9cm diameter cookie cutter. <\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Roll the almond paste into a 3 cm diameter roll and cut into pieces of about 3 or 4 centimeters. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Roll the pieces into large balls and place them on the base of the dough circles.<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Start rolling just as shown in the picture.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Clamp the dough on the top corner and lower the curl, which will create a small angle at the top of the circle as shown in the photo.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Small roll on the work surface with hands down flat on the roll. Place the babouches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Brush with beaten egg.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Push a whole almond on top in the middle. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Bake at 190\u00b0C for 15 to 20 minutes then put directly in the honey and let soak for 15 minutes. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
Put the babouches to drain. <\/i><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Serve with a mint tea! The “almond babouches” can be kept for about 10 days. <\/i><\/div>\n
